Measure lung and chest wall elastance with esophageal catheter
"Patients will be in supine position with 30-45° head of bed elevation. The cuff of the endotracheal tube will be transiently overinflated to 60 cmH2O to ensure there will be no air leaks. NMBA (cisatracurium) will be administrated \[9\]. The fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) will be adjusted for continuously monitored oxygen saturation (SpO2) between 90 to 94%. Patients will be ventilated in pressure control with 15 cmH2O of driving pressure.~A low flow pressure/volume curve from 0 to 40 cmH2O will be performed."
non-invasive method for measuring the lung elastance
by measuring volume recruited during a change of pressure (∆PEEP/∆EELV)
